- Dysregulation of skeletal muscle metabolism influences whole-body insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis. We hypothesized that type 2 diabetes–associated alterations in the plasma metabolome directly contribute to skeletal muscle immunometabolism and the subsequent development of insulin resistance. To this end, we analyzed the plasma and skeletal muscle metabolite profile and identified glutamine as a key amino acid that correlates inversely with BMI and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) in men with normal glucose tolerance or type 2 diabetes. Using an in vitro model of human myotubes and an in vivo model of diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance in male mice, we provide evidence that glutamine levels directly influence the inflammatory response of skeletal muscle and regulate the expression of the adaptor protein GRB10, an inhibitor of insulin signaling. Moreover, we demonstrate that a systemic increase in glutamine levels in a mouse model of obesity improves insulin sensitivity and restores glucose homeostasis. We conclude that glutamine supplementation may represent a potential therapeutic strategy to prevent or delay the onset of insulin resistance in obesity by reducing inflammatory markers and promoting skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity.

- Earlier studies have demonstrated that muscle insulin sensitivity to stimulate glucose uptake is enhanced several hours after an acute bout of exercise. Using AICAR, we recently demonstrated that prior activation of AMPK is sufficient to increase insulin sensitivity in mouse skeletal muscle. Here we aimed to determine whether activation of AMPK is also a prerequisite for the ability of muscle contraction to increase insulin sensitivity. We found that prior in situ contraction of m. extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and treadmill exercise increased muscle and whole-body insulin sensitivity in wild-type (WT) mice, respectively. These effects were not found in AMPKα1α2 muscle-specific knockout mice. Prior in situ contraction did not increase insulin sensitivity in m. soleus from either genotype. Improvement in muscle insulin sensitivity was not associated with enhanced glycogen synthase activity or proximal insulin signaling. However, in WT EDL muscle, prior in situ contraction enhanced insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of TBC1D4 Thr649 and Ser711. Such findings are also evident in prior exercised and insulin-sensitized human skeletal muscle. Collectively, our data suggest that the AMPK-TBC1D4 signaling axis is likely mediating the improved muscle insulin sensitivity after contraction/exercise and illuminates an important and physiologically relevant role of AMPK in skeletal muscle.

- AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a major sensor of energy homeostasis and stimulates ATP-generating processes such as lipid oxidation and glycolysis in peripheral tissues. The heterotrimeric enzyme consists of a catalytic α-subunit, a β-subunit that is important for enzyme activity, and a noncatalytic γ-subunit that binds AMP and activates the AMPK complex. We generated a skeletal muscle Cre-inducible transgenic mouse model expressing a mutant γ1-subunit (AMPKγ1H151R), resulting in chronic AMPK activation. The expression of the predominant AMPKγ3 isoform in skeletal muscle was reduced in extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle (81–83%) of AMPKγ1H151R transgenic mice, whereas the abundance and phosphorylation of the AMPK target acetyl-CoA carboxylase was increased in tibialis anterior muscle. Glycogen content was increased 10-fold in gastrocnemius muscle. Whole body carbohydrate oxidation was increased by 11%, and whereas glucose tolerance was unaffected, insulin sensitivity was increased in AMPKγ1H151R transgenic mice. Furthermore, perigonadal white adipose tissue mass and serum leptin were reduced in female AMPKγ1H151R transgenic mice by 38 and 51% respectively. Conversely, in male AMPKγ1H151R transgenic mice, food intake was increased (14%), but body weight and body composition were unaltered, presumably because of increased energy expenditure. In conclusion, transgenic activation of skeletal muscle AMPKγ1 in this model plays an important sex-specific role in skeletal muscle metabolism and whole body energy homeostasis.
